Scrubs decoupage exercise
Diagram the opening scene from Scrubs (video on Blackboard and screenshots over here). Does your diagram look like this?
Format (aka, the televisual "schema")

Establishing shot of the diner, with Jerry and George.
George: "Well, my mother..."
Seinfeld scene reenactment as a single-camera production
We will reshoot this scene from "The Contest" as a televisual scene--in a series of still photographs.
- The scene starts with Jerry and George seated at a table in Tuomey. Elaine is in Gorgas Library.
- Kate and Ava will shoot "in-studio" (on the "set" that is the Tuomey interior).
- Daisy and Logan will shoot Archi in Gorgas on walking to Tuomey. (Optional: shoot Archi gazing at a JFK, Jr. type.)
- Alex and Marguerite will shoot B-roll footage--photographs of the exterior of Tuomey and Gorgas and random shots around the Quad.
- Instead of Elaine entering on her line, "...John F. Kennedy Jr.", she will phone Jerry. Jerry will put her on speaker so that he and George can talk to her.
- After Jerry says, "Good one," Elaine says, "Hang on, I'm almost at Tuomey." She then enters Tuomey and stands next to George and Jerry's table, which she says her long monologue.
